American Monarch (Exploding Star Relief), 1964

"a huge figure in steel and aluminum relief that is at once a butterfly, a strange flower, and an ominous royal presence. Describing Roszak's insect sculptures in the introduction to the catalog of his 1962 one-man exhibition, Lionel Abel wrote, " Roszak makes bugs that are metamorphosed into themselves…They are at large, they unfold like the most delicate blossoms, they are like musical instruments-often they are like music."
